So far, even as a budget traveller who eats in most often to save money, I have felt comfortable dining out more than a few times. In general, I have found the food here to be more expensive than in Vietnam. But I have searched for budget friendly places and managed to find some. Here …
We all know how much I love markets at this point. 😂 If there is one to be found, rest assured I will find it. Here in this beautiful Thai city, I have a huge selection of markets to choose from. The best night market in Chiang Mai OT or Old Town, is the Walking …
I’m so glad I was in the city for this special weekend. It has been full of exciting events like dragon shows, parades and everything decorated extensively. Most of the activity took place in China Town, a very interesting part of the city. Happy Chinese New Year 2024 from Chiang Mai Thailand! China Town I …
One of the most interesting parts of this first taste of Vietnam for me, has been to see the huge variety of things to eat. So many of which are completely new to me and half of which I don’t know what they are. 🤣 Walking around, especially near the markets I have seen some …
Wow have I ever had the pleasure of consuming some delicious eats here in Vietnam. As a budget traveller, I have been strict while living abroad, not eating at restaurants, for the costs will quickly blow my budget. However, here in Vietnam, the prices have been so reasonable, I have been able to indulge. Delicious …
I wanted to have a train experience here in Vietnam and thought I would make this journey. The travel time is only 2.5 hours so a nice quick trip and chance to check out train travel here. I travelled by train from Da Nang to Hue City and it was marvellous! Online Booking First, this …
I love to shop, but don’t usually buy anything as I am limited to a single suitcase which is constantly full to the brim. That doesn’t stop me from seeking out art and admiring the local handiwork surrounding me where ever I travel. There is some great shopping in Hoi An Vietnam that is both …
I have been on a food tour only once before, in Rome, and it was amazing, something I will never forget. Knowing next to nothing about Vietnamese cuisine and desperate not to miss out on anything, I wanted a similar experience here. I booked the scrumptious Da Nang Food tour with Anh and it was …
In an effort to help others planning to travel or explore overseas, I will document my expenses for each country I lived in during the 2023 year. I didn’t keep records for the first 2.5 months in Mexico as almost everything was paid for in cash. Beginning with the next destination, here are my budget …

I started writing about this covered market but the post way getting way to long, so I decided to split it into two. Here is the second part that will cover everything else available, other than fresh food written about in the previous post. The best Pinarbasi Pazar Part Two. Dried Goods There was a …
You had to know I would find a market. 😂 And boy, is it every fantastic! I had so much fun, interacting with the vendors and looking around, I can’t wait for next Sunday to arrive. This post will be two parts, there is just so much to show you from the best Sunday Pinarbasi …
Well that was a short and sweet visit to Catania. The reason I was there was to relocate before my travel day, breaking up what would otherwise have been an exhausting trip. This travel day flying from Catania to Antalya was much more manageable. I’m sure glad I had the sense to pre-book a private …
I knew from limited research that there was a beach area not too far away from me. Looking into things once I arrived, I found out that Modica is indeed quite a large city, with various distinct neighbourhoods. One of these is the beach town, so today was a day trip to the beautiful beach …
As a long-term traveller who is on a tight budget, I have been saving a lot of money, by cooking at home. I rarely eat in restaurants, but still wanting the Sicilian experience, I have been purchasing local foods and goods at the market and shops. Here is a little snippet of my budget friendly …
As per usual, I went for a long walk this morning. Just last evening, I had been researching when and where the markets are in Modica. Turns out they are on Thursdays, and switch locations between Alta and Bassa every other week. Well….what did I find this morning? And not on a Thursday? You guessed …
